[College Hill Topeka] Happy Thanksgiving!

[Katrina Shaw]

Happy Thanksgiving Neighbors,

As you visit with family and friends keep in mind these safety tips for a
happy and healthy holiday season.

When you head outside to clean up the falling leaves avoid injuries by
following these rules:

1. Warm up - stretching ahead of yard work helps prepare your body.
2. Use the proper tools including gloves.
3. Turn it into a work out - use your knees to lift the leaves rather than
your back and avoid twisting.
4. Switch it up - use your less favored side to avoid muscle fatigue.
5. Pace yourself - take regular breaks and enjoy our beautiful neighborhood!

Shawnee County offers one large item pick up per week free of charge.  This
includes 15 bags of leaves at no more than 45 pounds per bag.  Be sure to
bag or mulch those leaves so they don't blow into your neighbor's yards.
